I went to CVS about an hour ago. Nothing unusual with that; I'm in there virtually every night, mostly just to grab a snack and a few supplies. Well, those things add up over time in CVS's computer and occasionally they give you a coupon based on what you've spent over the past season or some other timeframe. I got one tonight, worth $11.50. Not bad, not bad at all.

I woke up to fresh snow on the ground.

It's only half an inch though.

No snow up here. And I'm not complaining. It'll take me a while to completely recover from the last few weeks of icy turmoil.

One of my friends came to my work today. I haven't seen her in months! We hugged and caught up a bit on what's going on. She's suppose to be giving me a cup/tumbler set, but she's been sooo busy with her job since the beginning of November. Hopefully with the holidays over now, she'll get to relax a bit. It was so great to see her!

i'm going to look pretty fly this summer

I had a pretty good day today.

One, it wasn't a nightmare getting to work this morning. It was well above freezing when I left, so no ice despite the four inches of snow that fell last night. And most of it was melting already. It was just another drive over wet streets. And I'm well use to that. This is Seattle, after all.

Two, everyone at work was in a good mood today. Both coworkers and customers. One of my coworkers, and friends, went and got me a tall vanilla cappuccino from Starbucks with no strings attached. And in it she included a stir stick that had a mermaid on the tip. I collect mermaids, as some may already know, so that made me happy. I don't remember seeing them there before, although I usually just take a straw rather than a stir stick when I get coffee.

Three, well, not so good actually, but one of the girls under my guidance lost her grandmother this morning. She was fighting tears all morning.

I got her some candy while on my break, she was taken aback by it, thanked me and nearly cried again. She thanked me again for the candy as I was leaving for the day, it did seem to have helped a little knowing someone cared. That made me feel good.

Giving is the best gift of all.

Well, this little occurence made my day yesterday:

I was at work, and we were letting a woman use a $3 off coupon on her dog food, even though it wasn't for the specific brand. She was so thankful and started telling me how much she loves the store and how nice all of us are. Then the woman behind her said, "Oh, I know! I always shop here because everyone is so nice!" I told them it was so nice to actually hear grateful comments, and the second lady said, "Oh, please! If anyone's being rude you should just sock 'em in the face."

It really is nice, though, to actually get complimented when working in retail, which is usually filled with rude and entitled behavior from customers.

CVS put up part of their Valentine's Day display today. I spent a half-hour reading the cards. Couldn't help myself.

Partymember · 01-07-2009, 06:32 PM

so i got woken up a the ungodly hour of 7am this morning, my dad and mom were bringing our dog to the vet because he's had really violent siezures. My dad wanted me along because in case we had to put him down he didn't want my mother to have to help carry the dead dog into the car

long story short he's on doggy downers and he made it home alive

I just got back from this store that sells everything at ridiculously low prices. And I was able to get 48 candy canes for a dollar. I personally think that it was the best deal I've made in months.
